Lukid

Lost And Sound

What happens when an underground electronic artist decides to break over a decade-long hiatus and return to the music world in the midst of a global pandemic? This is exactly what Luke Blair aka Lukid did.

Isolated in Lisbon, Lukid took to his music like a mad scientist, employing unconventional methods like the use of tapes to get that elusive unidentifiable sound. We unpick his creative process, discuss his views on the use of filters in films, and touch upon the traps of becoming too attached to a particular sound. Lukid's innovative approach to music production is intriguing, and his philosophy hinged on the uniqueness of sound sets an interesting precedent.

As we traverse the myriad facets of Lukid's musical journey, we also dive into the broader changes that the music and film industry have undergone in the digital age. We shed light on how streaming has revolutionized the way we consume music, the role of algorithms in music discovery, and the rising challenge of securing film scoring opportunities. From Lukid's early influences, his initiation to music production through Cubase.Tune in, get lost in sound, and unearth the story of a musical prodigy navigating the changing times and his own personal evolution.
